The Colors

This is me wearing colors (and attempting to be witty).

Winter has been nice to us so far - these days feel more like early spring, so my light coat is back in the game, along with a sweater that used to be my boyfriend's. I've been wanting a soft, just slightly oversized grey sweater since the beginning of fall; turns out a perfect one was sitting in his closet all along, and he actually wanted to get rid of it. I just love it when the stars align like this.

The Find

Just when I thought I had robbed my grandma of all her vintage treasures already, I stumbled upon this coat in her basement and grabbed it without much hesitation. Granted, the color is not my favorite (what is this called anyway, taupe, greige, tan?), but the coat was too good not to give it a try (and hey, at least it's not pink). The moment I put it on, a few associations came to mind, the most notable being "the executive" (fellow die-hard Seinfeld fans will know what I'm talking about) and "the exhibitionist" (no further explanation needed, I reckon). The way I wore it here, it's giving off a bit of an androgynous vibe; on another occasion, I might try it belted, with a skirt and over the knee boots.
